Is anyone else a SERIAL weigher?

I weigh myself every morning, it helps keep me on track. My scales must b the worse scales ever, there is a 1st difference from sw scales, i weigh 12.7 on scales at home & 13.7 on sw scales. Can't complain though I suppose u get wot u pay for, only cost me £2.99 lol

Woa a stone difference??!

I used to weigh a lot but even though I did it to keep me on track, all those days of seeing the numbers go up (even though they were not accurate due to fluctuation) would put me in a sad mood for the day & sometimes make me give in & eat bad. I found it wasn't worth it.

I WI at home & do it once a week only. It is a struggle given how much I used to weigh myself but I'm happier in the week not obsessing over the number.
 
I weigh myself every morning and know that my weight will fluctuate but this doesn't bother me. What I hate is being 100% all week and then on weigh in find I have sts or gained. That really demoralizes me. I guess it is whatever works for you!

It definitely works for me. Luckily enough I have not had a gain or sts since I started in January 2012. If I am a bit naughty and put on a little during the wk, I work extra hard to get it off by being strict with my eating and doing extra exercise.
 
I have always been a secret serial weigher....for pretty much the same reason as Pugsy. I don't like surprises and I am aware that my weight will vary day to day, but as long as it doesn't go up day after day, I know I am on track. It didn't bother me at all, until yesterday. I am desperately trying to get under 10st for the first time in over 10years, and yesterday the scales read 9st 13lb!! I was ecstatic, but this morning it had bounced up to 10st 0.5lb. I was so frustrated, as this is the first time it has really mattered to me to stay under 10st!!

At least I have another 2 days til WI!! If only I could keep those syns down...:p

Like you say 2whole days, you can do it!
I'm hoping to be under 10 next WI
 
Well I'm staying at my mother-in-laws for a week or so and there aren't any scales here. So far I haven't really thought about it.
 
Ha! I've just weighed myself and I'm less than I was at Sw yesterday morning and that's even if I add a bit for light clothes. Weighing each day, especially in the morning, keeps me on the straight and narrow.

As long as you always weigh on the same scales round about the same time every week you should get an accurate weight - though I would be temppted to use the Tescos ones again lol!
I bought a set of Weight Watchers scales from Boots last year - they were about £25 and give or take half a pound they are virtually the same as the officiaL ones at SW x

Yes my weight watchers are a 1lb lighter than sw so it's not drastically diff
 
I weigh daily, I don't get an urge to eat tonnes of syns if there is a small gain, if anything it motivates me to keep on plan. And if there is a loss, it motivates me to keep on plan!

I agree entirely. I can't stand not knowing, even though I feel thinner!
 
I love this thread!! Just because I can relate to everyone's posts!! I weigh in nearly everyday, more than anything it makes me try harder if I see a gain or spurs me to carry on if I see a loss. I completely understand weight fluctuates everyday so I'm never down when I weigh a few more lbs on the scales I only ever count my actual weigh in. I find weighing everyday has made me work out exactly how my body works! What days I weigh less or more I know when I'm going to loose or stay the same, havnt gained yet * touch wood *!! I tried puttin them away to stop and I did for 2 weeks but I just like weighing myself everyday!!
 
This has been my first week and I've not been able to keep off the scales, fully aware that my weight will keep hanging but I just can't help it! Luckily I have lost about 4lbs this week (and hopefully more on weigh in day)

My boyfriend said he is going to hide them from me but I think I'll just end up going to my mums haha!

Same as me
 
I'm constantly weighing myself. It's not good I know this but I can't help it!

I find it all a bit odd really though as this morning I weighed myself, then had a shower, went to the loo *ahem* got back ON the scales and in those 20 minutes had put on '4lbs'. Go figure. :confused:
 
My OH has hidden my scales this morning as he says I've become obsessed with them :-(
Feel lost without them, he says I can only have them on Thursday mornings when I WI!
I find that weighing myself every morning keeps me on track too but going to have to live without now...
